Some years ago my mothers health began

had no relish for food and could not sleep,
and without strength of course she could not
walk without experiencing great fatsgue.
We used the ordinary remedies, but without
any permanent results. S'imulanrs would
refresh for the time he ng, but did not build
up the system, We heard OF Switt's Speci.
tic and its tonic effects. We secured several
packages of the dry form-the powdered
roots and herbs--and after using some half
dozen packages my mother has regaiaed her

Road Making.

The season for road making has at length
September number, the past season hat been
one of general apathy on the part of high
way authorities of the state, especially so in
counties under township organization. where
commissioners of highways have charge OF
the improvement of public roads. There
are many who claim that in counties not un-
der township organization, where the county
commissioners have had charge of improving
roads, more efficient work has been done on
the highways during the past season than in
counties under township organization in pro-
portion to the advantages afforded This
has led to the agitation Of the subject in
some circles Of establishing county board
of road commissioners in counties having
township organization, who have absolute
control of the subject of improving the pub
lie roads of the county.
Very general complaint is being made OF
the ineffciency OF the commissioners OF
highways in regard to the performance of
the duties the law has intrusted to them to
perform, and it would seem doubtful from
general report if there has ever been sea
son in Illinois since The adoption of town
ship organization when there was 30 much
ground for complaint against the ineffciency
of commissioners of highways in the perfor-
nance Of their duties as the past season. OF
course there are towns in the state where
this complaint does not justly apply. There
are towns in the state where the commits
sioners of highways are justly entitled to
great credit tor their faithfulness in the per
Torrance of their duties and for their eff
cheney in improving the roads of their town;
but it is to be regretted that the number OF
meritorious cases Of this kind is compari.
